The AK-47 is the most widely used Russian assault rifle worldwide today. First designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov in 1947, it quickly established a reputation by being a sturdy, hard-hitting, and reliable assault rifle in the 21st century.

In Ghost ReconEdit

It is used in the early games such as Ghost Recon: Island Thunder and is used in Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 in the multiplayer modes. It appears in Ghost Recon: Future Soldier for signature edition owners only.

In Island Thunder, the AKM becomes a usable weapon, but is incorrectly called "AK47". The rifle appears without the slant muzzle brake.

In Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 it is only in the PS3/Xbox 360 versions of the game. It is not equipped with a scope, and cannot be modified with a grenade launcher. It can only be used in multiplayer, and has a 30 round magazine.
